Truly Madly Deeply- Chapter 1

I was sitting alone in a coffee shop, just around the corner from my flat. I was drinking a latte from a tall, thin mug. I was just staring out into space, the business of the café didn't bother me in the slightest. I had sat there all day once, just watching the world go by. I loved seeing people feeling happy around me, it kind of lifted my spirits. I felt my phone vibrate in my coat pocket, I lifted it out gently.

It was Harry, my best friend. I had known him since I was a baby, we were virtually inseparable. I have always been attracted to him in a weird way, I never want him to know, just incase it ruins our relationship. But every now and then, I try to subtly hint it.

I opened the text message.

'Hey babe! I was wandering, are u free this afternoon? I miss u!xxxx'

I replied back instantly.

'Yes! Sounds like a plan! Do you wanna come to mine?xxx'

My phone started to ring, it was Harry.

'Hey Harry!' I answer.

'Hey babe! I figured it would be easier to arrange something if I spoke to you.' Harry's raspy voice spoke.

'Yup I agree! Do you wanna come around to mine for dinner or something?' I asked, desperate for him to come home and taste my cooking.

'Sounds perfect! I'll be over at 6?' Harry said. The way he said 'perfect' sent shivers down my spine.

'Okay! See you at 6!' I hung up, and stood up from my seat in the coffee shop. I collected all my shopping bags, and started to walk home.
